My favorite place to fuel up near UIC! The staff is so friendly and the cafe is a great place to get some work done. I’ve enjoyed all the mocha variations I’ve had here and the veggie bagel with pesto and pickled onions is delicious. If you’re a UIC student, staff, or faculty member you get a discount on your order, which is a super nice benefit.
This has become one of my favorite coffee shops whenever I’m in Chicago. The staff are always so friendly and provide the best service. During this visit, I enjoyed the ham and egg croissant, and it was amazing! It will definitely become a must-have on every visit.
The place was clean, cozy, and very stylish. I highly recommend stopping by!

Two Shades Cafe is a cozy and charming cafe located near the campus, providing a pleasant atmosphere perfect for studying and socializing with friends. The cafe offers a student discount, which is a welcomed perk for many. The menu features delicious options such as the caprese sandwich with avocado, the Two Shades Breakfast sandwich with hashbrowns and cheddar cheese sauce, peppermint hot chocolate, and a refreshing strawberry banana smoothie. While some reviews suggest that the cappuccino may not have met expectations, the overall feedback indicates that the cafe is a great spot for a casual gathering or a quick study session. Customers appreciate the nice ambiance and decor, though some mention that the stools at the window lack back support. The service is noted as great, and many diners express a desire to return to try more baked goods and food items. Despite being slightly pricier than typical lunch spots, it remains a favorite for many who visit frequently.
